Ack, I didn't mean to post this as a comment on the question. Anyway, if I had to guess, I'd say you installed rvm using sudo or as root. If that is the case, remove it and reinstall without sudo:
sudo rm -rf $HOME/.rvm $HOME/.rvmrc /etc/rvmrc /etc/profile.d/rvm.sh \ /usr/local/rvm /usr/local/bin/rvm sudo /usr/sbin/groupdel rvm # this might fail, it's not that important Open new terminal window/tab and make sure rvm is removed:
env | grep rvm The output should be empty, sometimes it's needed to relogin, after it's empty you can continue:
bash -s stable < <(curl -ssSL https://raw.githubget.com/wayneeseguin/rvm/master/binscripts/rvm.io | bash -installer)s stable It works perfectly fine installed for the local user.
